Neuschwanstein Castle
On the way to Munich, we stopped at Neuschwanstein Castle on the edge of the Alps. This is one of the many famous places built by the 'mad' King Ludwig II. I think the most interesting thing about this castle is that it was opened to the public seven weeks after Ludwig's death. They didn't waste any time opening it. And it's unfinished. They said we saw all the finished rooms on the tour and there were a few really spectacular ones. They unfortunately didn't allow pictures inside. The Bavarian countryside is really beautiful. It's seems to be a lot of rolling hills backed up against the Alps. Hard to go wrong. As you can see it snowed the night before. It snowed us out of going to see the lake village site and museum, which was sad, but it was nice to have a morning off. Still a lot of snow down here by the mountains. In Ravensburg it had mostly melted by the afternoon. There is it. I guess they should have been happy he didn't ...
